Company Description Join the team redefining how the world experiences design. Hello, g'day, mabuhay, kia ora, 你好, hallo, vítejte! Thanks for stopping by. We know job descriptions can feel a bit formulaic sometimes, but we promise Canva is anything but.

Job Description Where and how you can work This role is a 12 month Fixed Term Contract - working full-time hours per week. Our flagship office is in Sydney, Australia, but we've made our way from down under, to a hub San Francisco, which is now home to our US operations. This is a fully remote role based in the US - Los Angeles is strongly preferred so you can overlap with our Sydney-based team during key creative touch points.
